[Domestic Church]

"My opinion is that there is an inherent function of the Tridentine that preserves the notion of holiness and sanctity of the Eucharist that is not INHERENT in the NO."

Perhaps it is the fact that the Saints said the same words in the same Latin. And, to God, all points in time are present...so all the Saints prayed/are praying together in unison. We are praying too but not in the same language (except for those who softly speak or think the latin responses.)

All the saints? I would think the earliest ones spoke Hebrew or Aramaic.
